Such situations happen – during a fire of an electric car, firefighters are sometimes forced to use slightly different ways of reacting. During such action, up to 10-20 thousand liters of water is used to cool the batteries, preventing uncontrolled temperature rise. Sometimes they are immersed in special water containers (together with the whole car). Sometimes, the batteries again deal with fire even after a few hours of extinguishing. That is why you need to monitor the temperature later – for some time after mastering the situation.
In the middle of last year in Skierniewice (Łódź Voivodeship) an electrician was ignited, which stood in flames. It was managed by a 73-year-old man. Unfortunately, “despite the immediate reaction of the services (…) he could not be saved. He died on the spot, “said senior sergeant Aneta Placek-Nowak-press officer of the Municipal Police Commander.
